Summary: Photoactivatable Pt(IV) prodrugs have great potential as metal-based drugs due to their chemical inertness in oxidized form and selective targeting compared to Pt(II) compounds. A new Pt(IV) complex, soluble in water and unreactive until reduction, was synthesized. The complex exhibited rapid and efficient photoreduction with visible light, facilitated by a catalytic system based on flavin and NADH. The reactivity of the prodrug against biological targets was only observed after photoreduction to its Pt(II) analogue.

Summary: In this research, highly efficient heterogeneous bifunctional electrocatalysts have been designed through Fe coordination complexes, which modify the Fe centre for the electrolysis of H2O. By replacing -Cl- with -SO42-, the modified complex exhibits superior bifunctional activity with low overpotential and small Tafel slope. Additionally, it also demonstrates high-performance alkaline electrolyzer and remarkable stability. Therefore, exploring the intrinsic properties of metal-organic framework-based ECs provides a new approach for the rational design of molecular catalysts.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
